Not happy.
We almost blew our second 20 **** point Q4 lead in the last 2 weeks - w NO GIANNIS!
SMMFH.
AOS Q4.
Championship teams do not do this.
Although we held on, it does not feel good.
This team still closes in tight games like **** TOO OFTEN.

JT had a brilliant first half, an awesome box score line, but only played the last 5 minutes of the second half. Ain’t going work in the POs. MVP candidates don’t do that.
#7 had a nice Q3 & finally made 2 clutch FTs but otherwise really sucked.
Zinger shot poorly. Big dunk at the end.
Derrick was his usual all around studly self - but had a poor Q4.
Al solid.
Pritch was **** BRILLIANT!********

55-14
Magic number for HCA in the ECF is either 2 or 3.
Get it done quickly.

Then keep winning so we have HCA in the FINALS VS the Thunder or the Nuggets, & to keep the MO going.

When PP was in the game he pushed the ball and the offense was flowing. When he was on the bench we walked it up with no urgency. PP smokes it tonight.

After one bad final quarter (but in which he closed the game for us)

Let's not overreact here.

I think JT has played a lot of hoops this season, I think he likely was cooked in the final quarter.

I expect (or hope) Joe sits him out in more dead rubber/meaningless games as the regular season winds down.

Voted PP. JT and White CP. Horford was solid.

Probably KP’s worst game as a Celtic. Bad JB shooting game but at least made a couple of clutch plays down the line. Had 0 confidence in those free throws lol

Recordwise, the Bucks are now closer to Chicago than Boston.

But the pattern of looking great playing the tomato cans of the league and struggling against better teams should worry any Celtics fan.


Exactly this. Still couldn’t crack a zone either. But hey they won and they will beat Detroit by 35 next game so the green goggles crew won’t care much.

I have a feeling the Bucks strength of schedule/victory has improved significantly under Doc.

I hated this game before it even started. Despite missing our own very important starter I knew nothing good would come narratively for this team. If we win it's "of course we won against a team with no Giannis". And if we lost, we have now lost to a team without Giannis.

But I was wrong. It's gonna be worse.

After ESPN's **** pregame bitching and whining about how we haven't won against good teams in the clutch, now we do. But instead it will be how we supposedly look suspect for losing a 20 point lead (which is NOTHING BTW in today's NBA; today's 20 point leads are yesterday's 10 point leads). It's like playing whack a mole against a football team that moves the goalposts. We all realize that we're not gonna 20-point blowout our way to a title. Teams will makes runs against us in the playoffs. We will play in some close games. We made enough plays to get it done. That should be the takeaway. Playing in games like this are a GOOD thing for a team heading into the playoffs not a bad thing. But we know how this is gonna go.

BTW, VC to PP for his incredible energy tonight and CP to White for hitting big shot after big shot to keep the Bucks at bay.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Good thing Portis is no D.Wade lol. Seriously, with Giannis, Portis won’t be able to score like that. and we could just foul Giannis if he gets the ball down low, or try to drive his way to the basket in a close game.

Anyway I’m not sure how much we can take from any games over this last stretch.

Outside of the Denver game this team has been in autopilot mode for ages.

Been zero continuity with guys continually resting etc.

Just need to stay healthy until April now.

It’s not even worth worrying what ESPN or a bunch of neutral fans think about the team at this point.

The modern way of talking about the NBA is to say the most ridiculous **** possible all the time.

Never forget they spent the whole last season **** on Jokic only for him to dominant his way to a title.

Agree Tatum took MoSt of the night off, esp 2nd half BUt Giannis playing wouldn't have made a huge diff. His touches would have negated alot of what Middleton and Portis(esp Portis late) were able to do

Not sure if you are being sarcasti about 1st round ExIT ...A FinALs exit quite possibly if we don't keep out heADa out of our ***, but not losing a series in the EaST, much less 1st round

Eh they're slightly better but their defense still sucks.

Celtics clutch offense was absolutely brutal in these 2 games in Boston because they didn't know what NOT WALKING THE BALL UP IS

Yeah. Brown had only 4 times as many offensive rebounds as turnovers, while barely scoring over 20 points. What an overpaid bum!
